Summary

Lina Bo Bardi offers the first comprehensive retrospective of the celebrated Brazilian modernist architect's life and work. Born in 1914 and active until 1992, Bo Bardi was a pivotal twentieth-century figure noted for her prolific and distinctive approach to architecture. After contributing to Italian cultural reshaping, she moved to Brazil in 1946, where her style developed amid the social and cultural landscape of her new home. Her designs combine industrial materials with simple, naturalistic building techniques, creating expansive multiuse spaces that encourage public engagement.

Description

The first major retrospective of the Brazilian modernist architect's life and work

One of the most important architects of the twentieth century, Lina Bo Bardi (1914–1992) was remarkably prolific and intriguingly idiosyncratic. A participant in the efforts to reshape Italian culture in her youth, Bo Bardi immigrated to Brazil in 1946, where her practice evolved within the social and cultural realities of her adopted country. While she continued to work with industrial materials, she added simple building techniques and naturalistic forms to her designs, striving to create large, multiuse spaces that promoted public life.

Lina Bo Bardi is the first comprehensive study of the architect’s life and work. Author Zeuler Lima, the leading authority on Bo Bardi, presents her activities on two continents, examining how ethical and social considerations influenced her intellectual engagement with modern architecture and providing an indispensable guide to her writings and her experimental, iconic designs.
